EDGAR’S RELENTLESS PURSUE FOR THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE - Season 1 Episode 69

The moment Gigi heard that, she fumed before Jean could say something, “Now I know. It must be her throwing a monkey wrench into my costumes.”

At that moment, Gigi was undeniably offensive with her haughty stance in addition to the heavy makeup. After all, she was a celebrity and Edgar’s fiancée, so Anna urged Jean to apologize out of professionalism. “Since you’ve made a mistake, you should be fully responsible for it.”

Gigi lifted her chin and rubbed her exquisitely manicured fingernails. “Well, I’m not trying to be unreasonable. I’ll let it go if she gets down on one knee and apologizes to me.”

Anna and her assistants had never thought that Gigi would demand Jean to kneel down. Even Rebecca glanced at Jean sympathetically. No matter how capable the latter was, she had to give in to Gigi, especially now that Edgar was siding with Gigi.

However, Jean fearfully announced under the others’ pitying look, “I’m not going to apologize. I did this on purpose.”

“What?!” With her eyes widened, Gigi lifted her hand and was about to slap Jean to vent her anger. We’re in my room now. It’s Jean who made a mistake first, I’m not going to let her slip away again!

The moment Gigi lifted her hand, Jean caught sight of a figure walking into the room out of the corner of her eye. In fact, she was able to dodge the slap, but she merely moved her body aside slightly and allowed Gigi’s palm to come into contact with her cheek, which made it seem like Gigi had slapped her.

Actually, Jean did not feel any pain at all because the force that landed on her face was negligible. Realizing that Jean had avoided the slap, Gigi lifted the other hand and was about to slap the former again.

“Stop it!” Edgar rebuked coldly and gave off an oppressive aura. “Edgar?” Gigi immediately pulled back her hand and went to complain to Edgar in a pitiful manner. “Thanks to Jean, I don’t have accessories to wear anymore. She’s deliberately picking on me. I just want to teach her a lesson.”

Thinking that she had caught Jean tripping this time, Gigi babbled on while glancing at Jean in a provoking manner.

Initially, she was expecting Jean to be panicked, but to her surprise, the latter wore a profound smile as if she was deriding her.

Before Gigi could regain her composure, Edgar’s voice came forth. “I can’t believe you’re still thinking of wearing accessories with this nasty makeup.”

One of the important reasons Edgar requested Gigi to exit showbiz after their wedding was because he disliked women who doll themselves up ostentatiously. Especially someone like Gigi, who merely had a good appearance, wouldn’t be able to impress Edgar.

Jean was well aware of this point after being Edgar’s wife in name for two years.

But alas, Gigi had not figured it out yet.

Jean looked at Edgar and Gigi indifferently. Although the development of the incident was slightly different from her plan, Jean thought it was fine.

“The accessories should match my outfits. We’re going to show up together tonight, so I have to…” Gigi bit her tongue all of a sudden when she noticed the classy gray suit and striped blouse that Edgar was dressed in. This attire had greatly softened his usual solemn composure.

On the other hand, Gigi’s complicated gown was not matching Edgar’s outfit at all.

“You still have time. Go and change your outfit.” Edgar didn’t bother to give Gigi his attention at all, and he didn’t intend to be involved with the incident, so he turned and walked away.

“Edgar…” Gigi retracted her gaze as tears welled up in her eyes.

After this episode, it seemed like it didn’t matter anymore what Jean did because no matter how Gigi dolled up, Edgar would not spare a glance at her.

“Get out of here, all of you! I’m going to change my dress and makeup!” Gigi spat through gritted teeth. She was determined to become the only person who could catch Edgar’s attention.

Jean and Anna left the room.

After closing the door, Anna warned Jean, “I don’t care what grudges there are between you and Gigi or if anyone is supporting you from behind. You’re now an intern at MON & Co. and my subordinate. You better keep your nose clean until we return to Yorktown and stop getting yourself in trouble again!”

“I’ll try. The company is not going to defend me anyway if something really happens to me.” Jean wore a faint smile as she was well aware of the reality.

Ever since the Eyer family went bankrupt, the first lesson she had learned was that she should never place her hope on someone else.

“I have nothing to be afraid of. All the best.” With that, Anna hurried to the event hall as she had many matters to handle over there.

Jean checked the time and went back to her room. Meanwhile, Sally had already prepared the gown.

Jean was impressed the moment she saw the off-shoulder dress. The gown was designed in an Oriental style, and the details were focused at the waistline to accentuate one’s body figure. The designContents belong of the gown would make one look tall and sophisticate. Not only that, the beige- colored gown matched Jean’s skin tone well.

“Not bad. Where did you get this gown from?” Jean was satisfied looking at herself in the mirror.

Indeed, one didn’t necessarily have to dress in brightly-colored outfits in order to be eye-catching. Just like Gigi, the heavy makeup and ostentatious dress actually exposed the imperfections of her body.

Sally mumbled, “It seems like someone sent this to you. The bag was already at the door when I came. The gown that I prepared can’t even hold a candle to this one.”

Jean smiled. “I see. It’s going to be even more interesting tonight,”

Sally couldn’t hear Jean clearly. She brought a set of pearl accessories and watched Jean put them on. Thereafter, Jean applied classy, light makeup.

“You’re gorgeous!” Even Sally, a woman, was impressed.

“Edgar sure has poor taste…”

Jean chose a bright-red lipstick and applied it to her lips. The show was about to begin!

Half an hour later, a red carpet was already laid out at the main venue of the event.

The celebrities and models arrived at the venue one after another. The guests who entered the venue first were some local, less significant artists.

Meanwhile, Gigi was sitting in a car. She had changed into an average purple gauze dress and an ordinary Le hairstyle and makeup. An appearance as such would probably get minimal attention from the cameras on the red carpet.

Gigi was frustrated, but she had no choice but to endure it since she was going to walk the red carpet with Edgar.

Unfortunately, Edgar was not arranged to be in the same car as her. “Linda, is Edgar in the car behind us?” Gigi glanced at the car and asked as she was worried.

Linda, her agent, was reporting Gigi’s schedule to the agency company The sky was getting dark, so Linda X couldn’t see the car behind them clearly. She cast a glance at it and hummed, “Yeah, that’s his car.”

Gigi heaved a sigh of relief. Soon, it was her turn to get out of the car. She curled her lips and wore the brightest smile.

The moment the car door was opened, she greeted the reporters at the scene.

The reporters exchanged glances and whispered among themselves. “Is she an artist from Yorktown? I’ve never seen her before.”

“Her outfit is ordinary too. Let’s see who she will walk the carpet with.”

Gigi walked to the car behind hers and knocked on the car door. “Edgar?”

There was no response from inside the car. Just as Gigi frowned in confusion, the door was opened.

To her surprise, the person who came out of the car was not Edgar but Kennedy Oprah.
